<h1>About using Grid/Graphs in documents</h1>
<p>A Grid/Graph is a special type of control you can add to the document. 
 When a dataset report is added to the Grid/Graph, and the document is 
 executed, a Grid/Graph acts as a standard MicroStrategy report. For steps 
 to add a dataset report inside a Grid/Graph to a document, see 
<a HREF="Add_dataset_to_document.htm">Adding, 
 changing, or removing a dataset report</a>.</p>
<p>When you want to design a document template, you can add a Grid/Graph 
 to serve as a type of summary for a group or the entire document, because 
 the data displayed in it is aggregated to the level in which the Grid/Graph 
 is placed. If the Grid/Graph is in one of the Grouping header or footer 
 sections, it limits the data displayed in it to only that which is included 
 in that group. For example, suppose you have a report with Region in the 
 Grouping panel, and you place a Grid/Graph in the Region Header section. 
 If there are three values for the region (Midwest, Northeast, and Northwest), 
 the Grid/Graph aggregates and displays only Midwest data in the Midwest 
 region header, only Northeast data in the Northeast region header, and 
 only Northwest data in the Northwest region.</p>
<p>A Grid/Graph can be placed anywhere in a document except in the Detail 
 section. Since controls in the Detail section are repeated once per row 
 of the dataset, the Grid/Graph would be repeated on each row.</p>
<p>You can also use a Grid/Graph to display a subset report, that is, a 
 report with Report Objects that are not displayed on the grid. For more 
 information, see 
<a HREF="Subset_report_as_dataset.htm">Using a subset 
 report as a dataset</a>.</p>
<p>For examples and images, see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>MicroStrategy 
 Report Services Document Creation Guide</I></span>.</p>
